Trapping preset creats problem in Indesign

I have Adobe CS4 Design Standard. I was using trap settings in Indesign. When we apply any trap preset (Default or self made) on any object or on all pages, Indesign goes quit and shows a dialogue box with message “"InDesign.exe has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.” Is there any solution?

No need to post the same topic more than once. If someone has an answer they will do so.

PDF created in Illustrator CS5 causing problems in InDesign CS5

I have created a wallpaper / background in Illustrator CS5 that measures 646mm x 303mm (it's for an A4 folder cover) is in CMYK colour mode and is made up of only 2 layers. Layer 1 is 3 rectangles - 1 the size of the page and 2 that are 50% of the full page. They are all filled in with a gradient. Layer 2 is 2 x waves made up os 2 lines then "Object", "Blend", "Specified Steps - 20", "Make". This is the extent of the graphics on this page. I have then saved it as a PDF (Illustrator Default) and it's size is 518k - pretty reasonable size.
Here's my problem - When I place the PDF in InDesign as the background for my folder it is slowing all my processes down is I put my view to "High Quality". I can move, resize, type or place anything without the program crashing or a monumental delay in whatever it is that I am trying to do. Printing is also taking an excessive amount of time when I try to print off the PDF (created from the InDesign file and being all of 1.2MB).
Also - the illustrator document has now crashed once.
Other things that might be useful to know is that I am running on Windows XP, Office 2010, 32 bit, and have the whole CS5 package.
I can't think of any other information to give.
Do you think there is a system problem? File issue? Any advice would be FANTASTIC.
Thank you!!!!!

That's an issue with the shared PDF stuff in newer versions of Acrobat. There's realy no fix for this misbehavior, it's more or less a "hard" compatibility issue.

I have been creating forms in InDesign and pulling into Acrobat XI Pro to do form fields. My client would like to fill in the PDF form using Reader, save under a different name locally on their device, and redistribute. The problem I have is that, sometimes, they want to redistribute the form as Read Only. I know how to flatten the form on a mobile device, but uncertain how they can do that with a PC or Mac using Adobe Reader. I looked at FormsCentral thinking there might be a solution going that route, but don't believe there is. Any advice?

FormsCentral won't help with flattening a form. You could set up the form in Acrobat so that the fields are set to read-only, using JavaScript. Not quite the same as flattening but it's the best Reader can do.
Note that when Reader is used to e-sign a document, it gets flattened, but this won't be possible if you need to Reader-enable the form and under certain other conditions.

Problem in creating PDF with InDesign CS5.5

Problem in creating PDF with InDesign CS5.5:
exporting a file in pdf, setting "Press Quality" or "PDF/X-1a: 2001" and selecting "Crop Marks" and the surplus of xx mm, the elements contained in the MASTER page move from the original position or disappear at random.
Can you help me, please?
Thanks a lot.

Try Remove minor corruption by exporting

Problems previewing InDesign CS5.5 exported EPUBs in Apple iBooks, on an iOS device.

I have EPUB Creation problems when I use my InDesign CS 5.5 document from my first EPUB book, as a template to create my other two EPUB books.
My customer gave me a job that forced me to learn how to do EPUBs – and I'm still learning. I created three books in Design CS 5.5, for fixed page PDF, with interactive table of contents and for exporting to a regular EPUB, with auto-reflow formatting and automated table of contents. These books were not created for print.
After I created the first one and successfully exported to an EPUB, that previewed fine in free Adobe Additions, I used the first InDesign CS 5.5 document as a template to create the other two publications. These books were around a hundred pages, or less, with little or no placed jpeg images except on the three books' covers, so I did not create a Book.indb for each publication. Each book is completed in single InDesign files with their own unique front cover art on their first page.
When my customer previewed the three books on his iPad, in iBooks, all three books show the cover of the first book, when you see them on the iBooks library shelf. Then when you open them, you see the correct cover for that specific book and the correct interior pages.
When I open each InDesign file and open the File Information tabbed dialog, I have a different document title entered for each of the three different books. When I export to EPUB, the EPUB Export Option dialog pops up and I have selected "Include Document Metadata." I entered the Publisher name and a separate Unique Identifier for each book, when I export.
After I emailed the three EPUBs to my iPod Touch, all three showed up in my iBooks library but when you see them on the library shelf they have the first book's cover on all three. So I have a redundant cover preview on the library bookshelf icons, in the iBooks app, running in Apple iOS.
I have two books by Elizabeth Castro about Creating EPUBs with InDesign. I'm going to read them some more, especially the part about preparing your EPUB for Apple iBooks, on iOS. But, I thought I would share my problem here to see if anyone has a solution for me. Thanks.

I often end up answering my own questions but I will do so again, this time, so that others can learn. When you are exporting to EPUB in InDesign CS 5.5, an EPUB Export Options diolog appears. Under "EPUB Cover," select "Use Existing Image file" and choose the actual file that was used on on the first page of the InDesign document, for the new book's cover.
This feature can cause inbedded human error if you use a completed Indesign book as a template to create other books because even though you placed a new cover at the beginning of the book, the Export options still has the cover file selected for the previous book you worked on.
I actually got the answer to my problem with the InDesign Help Menu, when InDesign CS 5.5 is launched.

Creating charts in Indesign vs. Illustrator

I'm asking more for opinions in this post. I have just upgraded from CS2 to CS3 today. I have a large yearly publication that has roughly 40 pie and bar charts in it. For the past three years I have created the charts in Illustrator and "edited" them from the previous year, rather than fully recreating it because the sizes remain basically the same, saves time, etc. I just change the colors and data and import the eps files into indesign.
I am seeing that there is some sort of script for creating charts in Indesign (note that I am not knowledgeable on Scripts). Do you believe it to be better to create the charts in Illustrator and import them into Indesign or to create them directly in Indesign? I wouldn't want to get halfway into this huge project and realize the script could take twice as long OR not know that I could save tons of time by using the script.
Any opinions are appreciated!
Thanks! :)

Thanks!!
Questions:
1. Are AI files transparent? I often have background photos on the page to lighten up the heavy data in the report so I don't want a white box around the chart.
2. There won't be any problems importing an AI vs. EPS? I always assumed you couldn't import an AI file...that it needed to be converted. Not sure if that's my assumption or if I heard that somewhere along the line.

Type problem with InDesign, especially CC.

Hi. I'm experiencing a type problem with InDesign, especially CC. When I open a type box, the cursor appears in the top right hand corner. I can correct that by selecting 'range left' but when I paste or type in my copy, the final period of each paragraph appears at the beginning of the last line. This is drivning me up the wall as I can find a way of correcting it.
Any ideas to solve this problem?
Thanks

Are you using a MENA (Middle East North Africa, Hebrew, Arabic, Farsi, …) version? Then restting woul not help.
If not, you have to create a new document with the same Paragraph, Character and Object Styles (name should be identical) and import them into the other document to overwrite these style oddities.
If you are working without styles? Create correct new styles and apply them.
I doubt that resetting preferences will change here anything as paragraph properties from any existing document will not be changed when working with new preferences.

Creating 508-Compliant InDesign PDFs for Accessibility

Over the next few weeks my company will be reformatting all of the attachments on our Web site to meet "508" complaince standards for accessibility (a govenment contract requirement). While we are quickly getting a handle on how to create 508-compliant PDFs from MS Word and other MS Office documents, I keep running into problems when converting our InDesign documents. Our InDesign documents (often education posters) are usually more complex than the other standard documents created in Word, which is why we used InDesign to create them in the first place, but I'm having difficulty finding supporting documentation that is detailed enough to help me problem-solve the 508 issues I encounter. Adobe has some basic InDesign "accessibility" information on its Web site, and it offers a document called "Creating Accessible PDF Documents with With Adobe InDesign CS4" that offers a good introduction to the concepts and process. But I just can't seem to find information that is in-depth enough to help me create or modify InDesign documents that don't require endless hours of hit-or-miss fixing in Acrobat. I've checked standard third-party references such as my Acrobat and InDesign "Bibles," but no one seems to go into great depth on using the more detailed screens and options related to creating accessible documents. Are there other resources out there that can help? There must be an Indesign Accessibility Guru hiding somewhere (inaccessible!).

Usually there aren't too many responses to questions about creating accessible files because it's a fairly specialized area. I only know about it in a superficial way.
Chad Chelius has created a Lynda.com video which has the best information I've seen about the subject:
Creating Accessible PDFs

There was a problem updating InDesign CC For more information see the specific error below. Update Failed Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)

Posted the entire text from the error window, when trying to update, using the normal NON-TECHIE way to update any and all Adobe CC products, via the Creative Cloud updater installed when Adobe Creative Cloud subscription was purchased when first offered.
The following occurs, ad nauseam:
There was a problem updating InDesign CC
For more information see the specific error below.
Update Failed
Download error. Press Retry to try again or contact customer support.(49)
Here's the crux of my frustration:
(1) Customer Service is NOT contact-able, to receive LIVE help.
(2) There is NO way for me to mitigate this "Download error", being a student learning InDesign, and NOT in any way capable of tweaking folders/files here and there.
Therefore, the real question:
Given that a significant number of subscribers are having the above referenced issue with attempting to download the current update for InDesign, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO, in order to get our contractually paid-for updates to our legally and contractually paid-for Adobe software, specifically in my case, InDesgin's current update?
Please, NO TECHNICAL mumbo-jumbo which most likely will cause the overwhelming majority of users, like me, to seriously corrupt their computer files, but rather an honest, straightforward "what to do" from real CS/Engineers working for Adobe, as to how to FIX this issue, period.
===========================================================
UPDATE:
Here is a way in which I think I was able to "update" my InDesign CC application:
(1) Sign-In to your Adobe Account
https://www.adobe.com/
(2) Click on the MENU icon
(3) Click on the product InDesign icon
Your browser should display the page for Adobe InDesign CC
https://www.adobe.com/products/indesign.html?promoid=KLXLU
(4) Click on the Download icon,
Your browser should now display the page to download InDesign,
https://creative.adobe.com/products/download/indesign
(5) a Pop-Up window should open, and display:
Launch Application
This link needs to be opened with an application.
with the first option to select being the CreativeCloud(URIHandler)
(5) Select this application and click OK.
What happened when I followed steps (1) thorugh (5) is that:
(a) InDesign CC(2014) was installed,
(b) InDesign CC, updated, and then
(c) InDesign CC(2014), also updated.
Why this all worked, is a mystery to me.
Looks like a separate, "new" version of InDesign, InDesign CC(2014), was installed, the existing "old" InDesign was updated, and then the newly installed Indesign CC(2014) was further updated.
A BIT MORE, when I launched my InDesign CC app, and checked to see if there were Updates Available, there in fact was an Adobe InDesign CC 64 bit (9.2.2) update.
I clicked on UPDATE and my "old" InDesign CC app was "successfully updated."
FURTHER INFO: I may have neglected to list some important info ... OS: Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center, 64-bit
Confused, I am able to launch BOTH of these apps, and hopefully I may use one of these versions of the InDesign CC app, to do some InDesign work.
Will keep y'all posted!

How do I fix problem causing Indesign to crash everytime I open it?

I have had InDesign CC 2014 installed on windows 8 computer for month but recently I cannot open it as evertytime it crashed saying 'windows has encountered a problem causing InDesign to stop working' I have tried everything I can think of...please help! (I have it through creative cloud and my other programmes are fine so I don't understand why it is just InDesign?)

What happened the last time it did work? Was there a crash? You might have bad recovery data that is causing it to crash again on restart.
See Replace Your Preferences for directions to the HIDDEN folders where your prefs are stored. The recovery folder is in the same location as the InDesign SavedData file. Empty it and try again.

Printing problems with InDesign CS3 running on OS 10.6

I recently upgrade my old G4 Mac (OS 10.4) to a new Mac Mini running OS 10.6.6. I am still running CS3 and have encountered only one problem. When I print multiple copies documents from InDesign that contain several layers, each copy is processed separately, so that it can take several minutes just to send the print job to the printer if I'm printing over 20 copies. Then once the print job is processed the printer pauses between every copy, which is tripling the printing time. If I print a simpler document with only one or two layers it processes all the copies at once, as it should. I am printing on an Okidata 6150 color laser printer.
I never had this problem on my old computer. I'm wondering if this is one of the "unsupported" bugs of running CS3 on Snow Leopard. I want to make sure that this is a problem unique to running CS3 with Snow Leopard before I go ahead and upgrade to CS4 or CS5.
computer: Mac Mini core 2 duo 2.4 ghz processors, 4 gb RAM, printer: Okidata 6150 DN color laser printer.

Hi again Peter
It is version 5.0.4. I updated it when I newly installed it a week ago in my new computer, and then again updated it just yesterday.
I might mention that before I got my new computer, I was running Mac OS 4.11, and was using InDesign 3.0. I had bought InDesign CS3 about a year ago, but hadn't gotten around to using it since version 3.0 had been working fine, and I was used to it. Then, when I got my new computer, I decided it was time to use the newer version. However, while using InDesign 3.0 with the old Mac OS 4.11, a printing problem popped up there, too, a few months ago... and it also involved printing problems with Adobe Reader. I contacted Adobe, and they sent me a patch which fixed it. I will contact Adobe again if need be, although I thought I'd start here first to see if it was a common enough problem that someone might be able to provide a free and routine answer.

Subject: Printing problems with InDesign CS3 with Mac OS 10.6.3
I neglected to ask what version of indesign CS3 you are using. I also
notice that Mac OSX 10.6.4 has just been released. It actually
addresses some CS3-specific issues, though they seem to be related to
launching the apps, not printing. It may be worth trying to update,
nonetheless.

2014 .3 is much too buggy and full of error messages. Creating problems as I am on a timeline with my client and I don't have time to fool around with all the problems.

You didn't mention what error(s) you've encountered? A workaround for the most commonly hit problem is here Re: error in Muse : Object UID:U6875 has two (or more) owners: U3633 and U3165
If you have a copy of your .muse file that has not been saved using 2014.3, you can downgrade by uninstalling Muse and then choose Previous Version in the Filters drop down in the Apps panel of the Creative Cloud desktop app. There will be a popup next to Muse where you can select a prior version to install.

Can't select "include book documents" when creating index in InDesign CC

I'm trying to make an index for several dokuments in a book. I've made the index but when I try to generate the index the checkbox is greyed out so I can't check it. Do You know what's wrong?

Thank You. That worked well.
One more question: It looks as if the index does not include the words of all the documents in the book. Is it something I do wrong?
Thanks
